I just started gutter cleaning to my window cleaning service. I use the most powerful ShopVac on the market to suction out the gutters from the ground, minimizing ladder work. I ran a water line along my suction pipes so that I can switch from shopvac suction to the water flush. I have a GoPro mounted on the top so I can see the inside of the gutters on my smartphone from the ground.
My question: Many people are talking about charging set price per linear ft. Do you assess how full the gutters are first? What if a house has 200 ft of gutter but only about 3 or 4 ft have debris build-up at the downspout? Would you climb up there to do a physical inspection first and then charge per the amount of feet you actually clean out? Or just measure the 200 ft of gutter and multiply total times your rate per linear ft?
